Homegrown Cone creates mixed-to-order ice cream– a delicious blend of Waimea Creamery ice cream or Nicoco vegan coconut gelato and fruit grown by independent farmers on Hawai'i Island. Our seasonal flavor selection reflects the incredible diversity of tropical fruit, from classics like mango and lilikoi to exotics like soursop and jaboticaba.

What makes your ice cream different?

We are the only ice cream shop in Kona mixing exclusively 100% Hawai'i Island-grown fruit with locally-produced ice cream or vegan coconut gelato. It's what makes us the best ice cream in Kona and on the Big Island — everything is local, fresh, and made to order right in front of you. Watch as we blend your choices of freshly-frozen fruit and ice cream base to create the smoothest, freshest-tasting fruit ice cream you've ever tried.

Can I create custom flavors?

Yes, this is encouraged! You can combine up to two different fruits in any size. Some popular combinations are Mango + Lilikoi, Apple Banana + Cacao Nibs, or Papaya + Tahitian Lime. Or, tell us what makes your mouth water and let our scoopah troopahs recommend a special combo to tantalize your tastebuds.

Where do you source your fruit?

Some of our fruit is grown on our own property. The remainder is sourced directly from small, independent farmers on the island. Our roasted cacao nibs and coffee are also grown and produced locally (and yes, they are technically fruit!).

Where do you source your ice cream and gelato?

Our premium dairy ice cream is produced for us by Waimea Creamery, and our vegan coconut gelato is produced by Nicoco Hawaiian Gelato in Hilo.

Do you have vegan and/or dairy-free options?

Yes! Every flavor on our menu can be made with our dairy-free vegan coconut gelato from Nicoco Hawaiian Gelato in Hilo. It's a rich, creamy coconut ice cream base that pairs beautifully with all of our tropical fruits. Just let us know when you order and we'll blend it dairy-free.

Does your ice cream or gelato contain eggs?

No! All of our bases are egg-free.

Is your ice-cream and gelato gluten-free?

Yes! All of our bases are gluten-free.

Do you have parking available?

Yes! We provide 90 minutes of validated parking for the Ka'u Coffee Mill parking lot, located directly makai (towards the ocean) from their cafe.

Do you have seating available?

Yes! We have chairs and tables for you to enjoy the ocean breezes under a shady overhang.

Is your packaging compostable?

Yes! All of our cups, lids, napkins, and spoons are 100% compostable.
